NRL anti-vaxxers: 15 players put their 2022 season at risk

Some football clubs, who survive from the financial coffers of their leagues club or affiliated clubs, like the Panthers, Sharks and Bulldogs, are preparing to mandate vaccination on their own accord.

The boards of each club believe it would be negligible to ask patrons to show a vaccination passport to enter their leagues club, yet their star footballers without a vaccination are free to train and play, in some cases, directly across the road.

In simple terms, it’s a case of, get the jab or get the sack, for those three clubs.

Such is the case, Canterbury recruit John Asiata has already told Bulldogs officials to plan without him in 2022.

The Dogs, given their delicate salary cap juggle, haven’t needed to be told twice by Asiata to wait – already shifting the forward’s $180,000 contract on their spreadsheet into another column for another player.

Alternatively, it gives reason why English prop-forward Luke Thompson, widely-known as an anti-vaxxer, is understood to have received his first jab – de-risking his $725,000 contract.

Seems like it…
Disappointing considering he’s only on 180k , wonder who they’ll go after now… surely a number 9.

Shame as he was a good value signing. Although he was also a risk due to his recent run of neck injuries. I would promote someone like Kurtis Morrin who appears to be a Victor Radley type player or leave the spot open in case of injuries.
